What LLMs revealed is how many people in our industry don’t like to code.
It’s intriguing that now they claim and showcase what they “built with Claude”, whereas usually that means they generated a PoC.
It’s funny, as people still focus on how they’re building, so it’s all about the code. And if that’s the message sent outside, together with the thought that LLMs are already better than “average coder Joe”, then the logical follow-up question is: why do we need those humans in the loop?
Why are you building your website? You need to do something specific? You can use AI. Make the site, use it, forget about it.
You want to learn new tools? You just like coding? You want to grow and maintain the app? Write it yourself. You will learn, have fun and end up with something you can maintain for long time.
Coding is not a race. Yes, people will make simple apps faster with AI but making something that works fast is not always the goal.
